Palestinians refuse to relive 1948 as Trump suggests leaving 'Gaza hell'
KHAN YOUNIS — Life in northern Gaza is desperate – there is no water, no electricity and so much rubble that there’s barely enough space to put up tents.Yet more than half a million Palestinians have returned to the area over the past week, according to the government there. Most are determined to stay and rebuild – even if US President Donald Trump wants them out of the enclave so he can create a Middle Eastern “riviera.”“I don’t think people should be going back to Gaza,” Trump said during a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday. “Why would they want to return? The place has been hell,” he added. It was the second time in just over a week that Trump said Palestinians should leave Gaza.His suggestion has sparked criticism across the world...

Thousands of displaced Gazans are making their way back to what's left of their homes in the north
Trump's Gaza plan won't happen, but it will have consequences
By Jeremy BowenLONDON — Donald Trump's plan for the US to "take over" and "own" Gaza, resettling its population in the process, is not going to happen. It requires the co-operation of Arab states that have rejected it.They include Jordan and Egypt — countries that Trump wants to take in Gaza's Palestinians — and Saudi Arabia, which might be expected to foot the bill.Western allies of the US and Israel are also against the idea.Some — perhaps many — Palestinians in Gaza might be tempted to get out if they had the chance.But even if a million left, as many as 1.2 million others would still be there.Presumably the United States — the new owners of Trump's "Riviera of the Middle East" — would have to use force to remove them.After...

Marcos-Duerte feud escalates as Philippine lawmakers vote to impeach vice president
MANILA — The Philippines' parliament has voted to impeach Vice President Sara Duterte following complaints about alleged corruption.Duterte has been accused of misusing millions of dollars in public funds and threatening to have President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr assassinated.She has denied the charges and alleged she is the victim of a political vendetta.The shock move is widely seen as an escalation of the bitter feud between Duterte and Marcos which has kept the nation on edge for months.Both are scions of Philippine political dynasties: she is the daughter of former president Rodrigo Duterte, while he is the son of the late strongman leader Ferdinand Marcos Sr.A total of 215 out of 306 members of the House of Representatives voted for impeachment, well above the...

Ukraine's Zelensky says he is ready to hold direct talks with Putin
KYIV — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has emphasized his willingness to negotiate directly with Russian President Vladimir Putin, as long as that would be the only format which could "bring peace to the citizens of Ukraine and not lose people."When asked during the interview with British journalist Piers Morgan how he felt about potentially sitting opposite Putin at a negotiating table, Zelensky said, "If that is the only set-up in which we can bring peace to the citizens of Ukraine and not lose people, definitely we will go for this set-up."He later said, without specifying who, that any such talks would be with four participants.

US foreign aid freeze is intensifying humanitarian crises across the globe
WASHINGTON — Food distribution is being stopped. Health services are being shut down. Lifesaving aid is being tied up, with no way to disburse it.These aren’t warnings of what’s to come, but examples of what aid workers say is the fallout of the Trump administration’s freeze on foreign aid and the gutting of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).“It’s heartbreaking for our beneficiaries, for whom this is life and death,” a USAID worker said.Another USAID employee told CNN that they have been grappling with “the absolute shock from our partners,” as stop-work orders continue into a second week, and the reliability of US partnership is called into question.“We have programs in Ukraine, we have programs in Burma, in Sudan, in some of the most...
